So typical: Leftist university bans conservative speaker to protect their whiny, brainwashed progen

[turzovka]

And most liberals on these boards do not have the integrity to say this is totally wrong. Nor will they admit the media is heavily biased, nor will they admit there is no unbiased Dept of Justice in our current Administration.

Sorry, I immediately got off the tracks.
Anyway, no big news here, just your typical leftist university board banning speakers on the right who do not uphold the university’s own values. Did I say “values?” Well, that’s a stretch.

Excerpts from the article:

California State University at Los Angeles officials have abruptly canceled an event that was to be hosted by one of their student groups, Young Americans for Freedom, due to “controversial” content in a speech by invited speaker Ben Shapiro titled, “When Diversity Becomes a Problem.”

David Hacker, spokesperson for Young Americans for Freedom, said “YAF has every bit as much right to hold this event as any other student group does, and the university can’t stop that because it prefers to water down the speaker’s message with other viewpoints that officials find more palatable to their own political views.”

“The campus fascists have taken over,” Shapiro told Breitbart News. “I pay taxes in the state of California; I’m paying for these whiny children to be indoctrinated by radical leftists. For CSULA to pretend that they’re trying to provide a balance isn’t just stupid, it’s insultingly stupid. I am the balance, and they’re too afraid to let me speak. These aren’t diversity warriors. They’re jackbooted thugs.”

I agree. The left are so afraid to have an equal playing field for an exchange of ideas on campuses and in the media. They are so pathetic, almost none of them will even admit that is the case. What “honor” there is in that, in a nation of so-called freedom of speech and institutions of higher learning. Yuck.

This is what I mean when I insist that there is no use "compromising" with these sniveling libturd parasites. You don't make deals with these oxygen thieves, YOU DEFEAT THEM. You jab a finger in their eye, kick their pathetic shriveled ball sack, elbow them in the temple and curb stomp them.

Every chance they get they defeat US, their enemies are WE THE PEOPLE who have reverence for the Constitution, and appreciate being the last country on earth where people have real rights. These leftist sociopaths endeavor to turn this country into a soviet hell hole, with themselves at the top of the pecking order, and the servile insects who vote democrook believe it's about "equality".

It's about equality all right. Equal poverty across the board for the proles, and equal dominance for the elite.

Lets wait for jerkoff fakey or one of his socks to come in and babble about "reactionaries" now, as if that fuckhead even knows what the word means.

This is the future of the Democratic Party.

Speech for me, but not for thee.

Universities have a duty of care to their students. That includes protecting them from nutters.

Can you point to the day you lost the way?

Question: Do you really think God is a myth? Or do you think God is totally unknowable?

Because your points of view surely strike me as though that is how you operate.

Under circumstances where a college is a private university I would agree they have a right to not have a speaker at a school function. However, under a state college when a student group invites someone to speak they have every right as some other group on campus to invite the speaker. There is no reason to not allow this person, even if I don't agree with what they say.

Whatever happened to "If you don't like the speaker, then don't go to the function."?

I remember a college had Anne Coulter as a speaker and I think she is as nutty as they get and she was allowed her speech and there were people allowed to protest outside. That is how it should be.

What "threat" does this person pose to students to you, as to not allow him on campus?

Oh stuff it, there are nutballs on all sides. Don't act like your side has no nutballs.

They should have just let the pajama boy speak.

During his freshman year at Michigan State University, he was elected president of the campus conservative group, Young Americans for Freedom (YAF).

Kyle Bristow first gained notoriety when he began inviting white nationalists to speak on campus while he led the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter at Michigan State University in 2006.
While attending law school in 2010, he published White Apocalypse, a novel seething with lethal white supremacist revenge fantasies against Jewish professors, Latino and American Indian activists and staffers of a group clearly modeled on the SPLC.

One of Bristow’s most inflammatory tactics was inviting virulently racist and anti-Semitic leaders to speak on the MSU campus — acts that triggered disciplinary threats from the national YAF group. Among those speakers was British National Party chairman Nick Griffin, a Holocaust-denier and white supremacist.

Yeah, can't wait to have him back on campus spreading peace and respect...

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom FROM speech. There will always be A-Holes however, that doesn't mean that students can't organize a protest outside his speech either.

the university has no responsibility to give hate speech a microphone

"Hate speech" seems to be defined as "Saying something they don't like". Hate speech is calling Jews inferior to "regular folk". Hate speech is saying that blacks should be killed. That isn't what this guys is doing.

Being a holocaust denier (as much as it is a nutter position) is not hate speech.

call it what you want the university has no responsibility to give his opinions credibility by allowing him to speak.

quite the opposite, actually

Allowing someone to speak isn't making them credible it is showing a different position. Why does a different position scare you so much. Should people all have "like-think" instead?

Well if you are implying some people or speakers are simply too radical or hate-filled to be allowed to speak I would have to agree with you. I would probably put Louis Farrakhan in that group, but he never seems to have a problem getting invited. I would also include the professor Bill Ayers as a disallowed terrorist, you know. Obama's good pal?

But why are you citing this article above? Who is Kyle Bristow? No one is talking about him, a radical at MSU in 2006?

more of a general statement. a university has no obligation to give opinions counter to their values a forum.

not all opinions are equal, not all should be heard.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Maybe if the pseudo racists whines more about taxes that will mean he should be welcomed to speak everywhere he wants.

Only opinions YOU agree with should be heard right? Gimme a break.

please. you don't think having given speeches at universities bolsters the credibility of an individual?
